Mission

The mission of the Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Program is to advance students’ professional knowledge regarding disorders of human communication and swallowing. Through a variety of academic and clinical training experiences, students are prepared to become professional and competent speech-language pathologists who incorporate evidence-based practice and provide quality services to people with communication and swallowing disorders and support their care partners. Students will be prepared to assume leadership roles in the workplace. Students will meet all academic requirements for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology from the Council for Clinical Certification. The Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Program will enhance service to the community by providing clinical services through the Mississippi University for Women Speech and Hearing Center.
